Contributing

1. Set up a dev environment

You'll need to install Node.js, git, and MongoDB. Optionally the Heroku Toolbelt if you have access to the Heroku servers.

OS X

Get Homebrew

brew update
brew install node git mongodb heroku

Debian/Ubuntu

# node
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm

# git
sudo apt-get install git

# mongodb
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

# heroku
wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh

Windows Installers

• Node
• MongoDB
• Git (Download will start immediately after clicking this link)
• Heroku

2. Fork OlinApps on GitHub

https://github.com/olin/olinapps Once you have your own fork, clone to your computer locally and install the npm packages.

git clone https://github.com/YourName/olinapps
cd olinapps
npm install

3. Make your changes and test them locally

First start a mongodb instance with mongod. You can now run the app locally with node app.js if you have all of the proper software installed as described above.

mongod &
node app.js

Now you can open a browser and navigate to localhost:3000 and see the app.

4. Push to GitHub and submit a pull request

After brief code review your branch will be tested on https://stage.olinapps.com and if nothing goes horribly wrong your changes will be merged in to master.
